Saturday: Koresh Dance Company at Miller Symphony Hall

Revel in the sweeping circle patterns and gestures drawn from Israeli folk dance, as well as stunning athleticism during a Koresh Dance Company show, 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, at Miller Symphony Hall in Allentown.

Dancers from the Philadelphia-based company will seamlessly shift between classical, folk and pedestrian movement styles while taking audience members on a musical journey with composers from Israel and Turkey, as well as Chopin, Beethoven, Ravel and more.

Koresh was founded in 1991 by Israeli-born choreographer and artistic director Ronen (Roni) Koresh. Known for its engaging performance and technically superb dancers, the company performs critically acclaimed works at its biannual Philadelphia seasons, as well as in touring performances around the country.

It also has been hailed internationally, touring to destinations such as Spain, Turkey, Israel, South Korea, Mexico, and Guatemala.

Over the years, Roni has developed a vast repertoire of work that ranges from explosive and passionate to intimate and restrained. The company also presents work by guest choreographers including Ohad Naharin, Robert Battle, Donald Byrd, Itzik Galili, and Paul Selwyn Norton.

Other upcoming performances will be at Pace University in New York on Feb. 6 and 7; The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia on Feb. 14; and Gordon Center for the Performing Arts in Baltimore on Feb. 28.

Tickets are $25-$35; and $10, students. Miller Symphony Hall is at 23 N. Sixth St. Info: millersymphonyhall.org or koreshdance.org.
